you guys arent thinking bout it right. a baseball bat is silent and allows you too release that anger.
I keep one behind the front door

 

you ought to put hydrolics under the hood so when they try to steal the head lights it engages a switch and the hood flies up in his face. lmao

 

NOT BAD idea although I would rather do something with OC Pepper spray... like some sort of trigger that is activated when they pull on the light or hood, and then hide the exit lines for the OC spray, it could seriously be pretty discreet... and trust me... that$h1t hurts/burns...oh speaking of the shooting them, you know that the police have paint ball guns that shoot OC filled *****, that would be awesome..! or mean, but what the heck, he was trying to steal something.

 

A .22 would probably punch right through them....a 22 is not a BB gun. It's a high velocity low weight bullet with a lot of penetrating power. Just incase someone thought about taking that part of the thread seriously.

 

the only problem with shooting them is your going to jail. the pepper spray would work but i think that it will damage the paint. i dont know.

 

noway... really? hahhaha...

 

hey,
so I thought I'd put up a post mortem. All up the lights cost ~$4,800 to replace. Good thing for the insurance, they were pretty good about it all. I've got to get back to thinking about what I'm going to do to stop it in future. A lot of good suggestionsfrom you guys(.50 cal, .22 etc lol don't get me wrong I thought about it). I did prefer the baseball bat though, much more satisfaction from beating down on someone who's tearing up your car!

Anyone else who has an S4 who lives in Boston, I'd appreciate some suggestions. Have you had success with just an off-street parking behind a building? Or a carport/outdoor secured lot? Arg, this seems like too much work...

F**n thieves don't make it easy to just own one of these cars...

 

There is a set of these on ebay in the CT, MA area. Looking at the guys' history, he's never sold or bought anything from an Audi before. Kinda makes you wander where he got them, and why he wants to sell them? My suggestion is etch your serial number on them, so that if someone did try to sell them, you might have proof that they were yours, or at least the number might show up in the pictures and the guy couldn't sell them. I would definitely ask for proof of where someone got something like these, if they can't provide it, send a note to ebay for questionable practices. There are many people selling stolen goods from our cars on ebay, its a crooks dream. Any good alarm tech could run a wire to these somehow, so that the thief has to cut the wire to take them, thus setting off the alarm, of course it might be too late at that point.

 

1. Thats why we have insurance
2. Get an aftermarket alarm system
3. Dont park your s4 in a city that is NOTORIOUS for HID theft on s4's. Thats like bringing your car to jersey and leaving the keys in at at the mall.


Also if you get new lights get E-codes! they look better, but are unfortunately more desirable to theves.

 

The problem is these lights fit in some Maximas, and people who rice out Maximas... Well I won't type anything offensive here. Maybe a secondary battery with a live live of copper running along the top of the headlight would make them think twice. They get them out by jamming a long screwdriver between the headlight and the hood and prying upward, ruining your hood. Trouble is it would probably weld the screwdriver to the copper and burn your headlight, cracking it. I like the pepper spray idea, maybe you could alter the headlight washer to serve another function? I think the headlight washers are useless anyhow, and a waste of my fluid. I think that would definitely work.

A simple .22 slug coming from where the headlight used to be would be a nasty surprise. Don't need a lawyer to tell you that mounting weapons on your front bumper is illegal though, do you?

You could, however, have an M80 launch from under the car in their general direction, maybe one per second for 20 seconds or until your alarm system decides they have fled. That's only illegal in states where fireworks are illegal. I may know of someone who used to have a switch under their dash that would launch several of these (they go about 40 ft and detonate, about 1 car length if you are going 60) either in succession or all at once. Kit go to turbo, eat my shorts.

And as one of my favorite artists says, "Consequences dictate the course of action, it doesn't matter what't right, it's only wrong if you get caught."

Move your car THEN call the police. As long as he is dead, really dead, and not on your property.

The real problem is there's too many people, and no legal way to reduce the problem. Like a fat guy that can only eat McDonald's. It's only going to get worse.

You could easily use a shotgun shell instead of a .22 long rifle and load it with rubber bullets, those slugs used to disperse crowds. Did you know you can make a Claymore out of shotgun shells with a couple pieces of wood, some metal, and a really big ruber band?

If you are being chased, or your posessions sought after, then you can predict the behavior of your enemy. If you can predict the behavior of your enemy, he is toast. Don't be a victim. If there's a choice in the matter, create one instead.

My $0.02 you can keep the change.
